0. Welcome...
...to the Dong Family History Blog!
Over the years, we've been gathering the story of our family's arrival and establishment in America. It's a story that now spans four generations and touches, in its own way, the history and growth of San Francisco and the United States over the last 125 years.
With this innaugural post, we begin a project to tell the story of the Dong Family, from our patriarch Dong Hin's humble arrival in San Francisco in 1881, through the tumult of the 1906 earthquake and personal tragedy, to the raising of a new generation in a new country.
For those not familiar with the format of a blog, it's sort of like an online journal. We'll regularly update the site with new chapters of the story. It's all a bit of an experiment, so its hard to say how it'll all turn out. But in the end, we hope it sparks your imagination and draws us all closer to those who pioneered the way.
